#IBsports: Manchester Utd Confident Of Signing Morata Within The Next 72 Hours

Manchester United are confident of the signing Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata in the next 72 hours.

According to The Sun, sources in United reveal the EPL giants aim to announce the £60million signing of Morata on Thursday.

Reports of the imminent transfer surfaced again yesterday after the player's father Alfonso and agent Juanma Lopez, met officials at the Bernabeu to iron out the details of the deal in a meeting that lasted nearly an hour. .

The deal has been held up with Real wanting £80million rather than the £60million United valued him at.

But the player himself intervened last week when he contacted Real officials from his honeymoon to try and get the deal smoothed through.

Real are understood to have relented on their asking price..
